We should all remember Deplorable Patriot and Wheatie as we push forward with the fight. This is NOT over by any means.
Fight! Fight! Fight! Because JUSTICE must be served on those who foisted the “Vax” shit on us. And for all the other things they have done to this country.
“Don’t Tread On Me,” it says.
You failed to pay attention to this advice.
You went out of your way to do the opposite.
You chose to rub our faces in it,
imprison those who dared complain,
and even to kill our people.
Now you shall pay just a tiny fraction of the real price, Ratfuckers.
What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
RINO scum. Like Murkowski and Collins.
That’s OK. We go around ’em for now.
January 6 Tapes Reminder
OK…I’m sick and tired of reminding you to no effect, Speaker Johnson, so I’ll do the more emotionally satisfying thing and call you a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit.
Johnson, you are a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit!
A Caution
Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Lawyer Appeasement Section
OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)
Paper Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend). (Note: most media quotes are for the bid…the price paid by the market makers, not the ask, which is what they will sell at. I figure the ask is more relevant to people like us who wish we could afford to buy these things. In the case of gold the difference is usually about a dollar, for the PGMs the spread is much wider.)

Gold managed to push up into the 3430s (at least) on Monday/Tuesday night/morning. Apparently the Chinese markets were closed May 1-5. The Chinese markets tend to boost gold while the European and US markets push it down.
That said gold was back down to the low 3300s by Thursday evening, and seems to have settled into that range once again.
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.
Leading Up To The Big Revolution In Geology
As of the late 1950s geology had made tremendous strides in about two and a half centuries. Geologists had come to understand a lot about rocks, how they were made, how they endured (or didn’t), and had used this understanding not just to reconstruct a lot of Earth’s past, but also life‘s past.
But a lot was missing, too. We knew, for instance, that land rose and fell; we had obvious ancient sea floor in what is today nosebleed-high mountain ranges. And we knew that it wasn’t because the water had risen, but rather that the land had risen afterwards.
What we didn’t know was why. Why was terrain being uplifted from time to time?
Geologists had won their argument with the astronomers over how old the Earth had to be, but that win left them with another aspect of this problem. If the Earth were indeed hundreds of millions of years old (as, by about 1900 at the latest they figured must be the case), then why did we have continents at all? They should have eroded away long ago!
Another mystery was volcanoes. They happened a lot in some places, and not in others. Why? No idea. I had access to an outdated book on volcanoes (probably written in the late 1950s) as a kid in the early 1970s. It asked this question and gave no answer beyond, essentially, “we don’t know.”
Today we know the answers to all of this. And indeed looking back on it, the geologists who lived through what can only be described as an Awakening (and yes, some of them are still alive), realize that geology made no sense without the answer. Oh, the little stuff made sense; mountains erode, volcanoes erupt, streams silt up, until you dug a bit deeper and realized there was no rhyme or reason to it when you tried to put together a big picture. Why were the mountains there to erode? Why weren’t volcanoes in New York State?
There really wasn’t a big picture.
And then, in not much more time than it takes for a Trump attorney general to be confirmed, there was a big picture!
What a glorious time it was to be a geologist!
I’m not guessing at this; I’ve heard many of them talk.
Plate tectonics brings order and sense to geology. Much like the periodic table brings order and sense to chemistry, gravitation brings sense to astronomy, and evolution brings sense to biology.
(You might want to argue with that last one. You’d be wrong. I’ve heard biologists talk too. Biology literally would make no sense–it would be a jumble of miscellaneous facts–without evolution to tie it together.)
So this is going to be the story of how we came to recognize that plate tectonics exists, and how it works. And it will probably take several posts to cover.
But first…some background. (You should have seen that coming.)
Igneous Rocks
There are three broad classes of rocks, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. (I hope this is a refresher to you, as I’ve covered this before.) Igneous rocks were certainly the first kind to exist, since those are the kind of rock you get when lava or magma cool and solidify. Then there is sedimentary rock, formed from bits of other rocks (of any of these types), that erode, are transported downhill, and (usually) end up at the bottom of a body of water where they become sandstone, or limestone, and things like that. Metamorphic rock results when any rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures and undergoes chemical and structural changes without going all the way to melting and re-solidifying. Marble and flint are examples of metamorphic rock.
We’re going to concentrate on igneous rocks.
Magma and lava are typically mixtures of different chemicals, and as they cool the chemicals crystalize (and become minerals). You can tell how quickly an igneous rock cooled; if it cooled very slowly you get large crystals; if it cooled quickly you may have very small crystals, perhaps small enough you need a microscope to study them. In extreme cases there may be no crystals at all and the rock is considered a volcanic glass, like obsidian.
(A rock with crystals large enough to be seen by the naked eye is “phaneritic” while others are “aphaneritic.” As a side note to this side note, “phaner-” also appears in the name “Phanerozoic,” which is a hint as to where it got its name; the Phanerozoic is the eon where life was big enough to see. Though that’s a bit of a misnomer now since the Ediacaran period, right before/below the Cambrian and thus not in the Phanerozoic eon, also had life big enough to see. But that discovery post-dates the naming of the Phanerozoic.)
Lava being out on the surface cools quickly and generally has very small crystals, whereas intrusive rocks (like dikes and sills), and gigantic bodies of magma called “batholiths” are underground and cool very slowly; leading to big crystals. In fact, geologists will distinguish between extrusive (lava) and intrusive (the others) igneous rocks as the “mode of occurrence.”
There is also, independent of that, another distinction, a chemical one. Magmas in general are mostly silicon, oxygen, aluminum, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron and magnesium; these all go together to form silicate minerals, which make up at least 90 percent of all igneous rocks. Silicate minerals are made up largely of silica, SiO2 (as I tried to explain the one time I dared to take up mineralogy), but not entirely. Different magma bodies have different proportions of these materials.
Felsic rocks have the most silica, and end up consisting mostly of quartz and feldspar, with other things thrown in like mica. The dividing line seems to be 63% or more silica makes it a felsic rock. And the result is either granite (intrusive, slow cooling from magma) or rhyolite (extrusive, quick-cooling from lava, fine-grained). These rocks are usually fairly light in color, and have a relatively low density compared to the other sorts of igneous rocks. (That low density has very important consequences, so don’t forget it!)
Below, some of the minerals that appear in felsic rock, plus a picture of some granite from an obscure location that I picked totally at random (right).
Intermediate rocks are 52-63% silica, and the intrusive version is diorite while the extrusive one is andesite. You might ask, “intermediate between what, and what?” Well, intermediate between felsic and…
Mafic rocks are 45% to 52% silica. The intrusive, coarse-grained type is gabbro, while the fine grained type is basalt. In general, these rocks will have a lot of pyroxenes, olivines, and calcic plagioclase in them.
Anything less than 45% silica is ultramafic. The coarse grained, intrusive example is peridotite, while the fine grained ultramafic rocks are komatiite.
If you do a deep dive there are further and further fine-grained (sorry. OK, no I’m not) ways of classifying igneous rocks.
The average adult has heard of granite. He may have heard of basalt. The other six broad kinds of igneous rock are probably foreign to him.
Most lava flows are basaltic in nature. Most rocks that form deep underground (known as plutons) inside mountain ranges are granitic. So there’s both a compositional and textural distinction between lava and plutonic rock. At least, usually. The exceptions are notable when they happen.
(Every once in a while I hear a tourist opine that Pikes Peak must surely be a volcano. No…it’s made of granite–see the picture above–much like the Appalachians. Granite doesn’t happen in volcanoes (or if it does, it’s very rare). Tour guides must be really tired of this one.)
The Earth’s Crust
(More background)
The Earth has a layered structure. The below diagram shows (lower left) to scale, and the notional “pie wedge” at upper right is not to scale. (We have some notion of these layers because we can “watch” seismic waves curving and refracting at the boundaries between the layers. The liquid outer core, in fact, blocks some kinds of seismic waves completely. I have described this before.)
The crust is on average 35 kilometers thick (out of a total of 6371 (average) or 6378 (max) kilometers to the center of the Earth). There is also the lithosphere, the top 60 or so km of the Earth (note that the crust is part of the lithosphere). The mantle lies directly underneath the crust and goes down 2900 km or so; it’s divided into an upper and lower layer about 660 km down.
Most of the mantle is solid but does flow over time; the very topmost layer of it is a lot more rigid which is why it is grouped with the crust into the lithosphere.
In fact the boundary between crust and mantle is where there is a sudden shift in the speed of seismic waves; this is the Mohorovičić discontinuity which for some reason I can’t fathom gets abbreviated to “Moho.”
In some cases upper mantle material has ended up on the Earth’s surface, and it’s generally 55% olivine, 35% pyroxene and 5-10% calcium oxide and aluminum oxide minerals such as plagioclase, spinel, and garnet. In other words, the mantle is mafic. It’s also much more dense than the Earth’s crust, which means that over time the crust is likely to stay “up there” essentially floating on the mantle.
One other thing that the diagram does is to distinguishes between “continental” and “oceanic” crust. Other than the fact that the oceanic crust is a lot thinner than the continental crust, does it really make a difference? Both are largely silicate, but it turns out the ocean floors are, underneath the sediment layer, largely made of basalt, diabase, and gabbro. In other words the ocean floors are mafic. They’re also only about 5-10 km thick.
Continental crust on the other hand is mostly felsic and can be anywhere from 25-70 km thick. (Note that the continental crust includes the continental shelves; geologically speaking they’re part of the continents, not part of the oceans.) Some really thick areas of continental crust are the Tibetan plateau and the Altiplano next to the Andes, where the crust can be as thick as 80 km.
So continental crust is lighter and thicker than oceanic crust. One would think the composition would be about the same everywhere, and likely less difference in thickness too, but no we have these pronounced differences and it turns out we now know it’s for a very good reason.
Note that the difference in thickness is greater than the distance from the top of mount Everest to the ocean floor, This implies that where there are continents the continental crust drops further into the Earth than the oceanic crust.
In fact it ought to remind you of icebergs, floating on top of a liquid medium with with a large portion beneath the surface, or sticking into the mantle layer.
I recall reading somewhere (I can’t confirm it) that if (say) ten feet were to erode off the top of Pikes Peak, then (given a lot of time) the mountain would “bob” up about nine feet for a net loss of elevation of a whole foot. Clearly to erode the entire thing away (it sticks up about 8000 feet above the surrounding terrain), 80,000 feet or sixteen miles would have to erode away–not just 8000 feet.
Below is a diagram with contour lines of the thickness of Earth’s crust.
And now, with today’s ramble plus prior ones, you have the background to understand the story of the great geological revolution.
I scheduled it.
I know I did.
When I went to look it was still marked as “draft”
So I hit publish.
OK – that is interesting! It showed last being modified at 11:46 PM EDT
And that’s about right.
As soon as I finished it I announced as much over in the Friday thread.
This sounds like the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
“Three times shalt thou schedule thy post — not once or twice, except as thou proceedeth to three times — and four times is RIGHT OUT!”
Thank you. I’m looking forward to learning more about plate tectonics.
One take-away from this series is that it shows how scientists can state facts about the earth’s development over time with confidence. As a lay person, it’s easy to misunderstand and even to discount the significance of the work that has been done, and the things that have been learned, leading up to this point.
A lot of science popularization contributes to this. An example I’m far more comfortable with than geology:
Reading the story of special relativity as usually told, you’d think that the Michelson Morley experiment was done once, back in the late 1800s and never repeated since, nor any other experiment to demonstrate the same thing. So then Einstein comes up with this clever way to account for this ONE experiment and it’s taken as gospel from that point forward.
The fact of the matter is if Einstein was wrong, it’d have consequences visible every day in a laboratory…to say nothing of GPS having to account for what he showed, which would make them non-functional if it turned out not to be true.
When I was a kid, there was a set of mini-posters that showed an earth floating in the void, with the caption: “What if the earth were ____________?” The earth, of course, would match the description. I remember “flat”, “cubical”, “toroidal”, and — one of my favorites — Wegeneroidal, where the continents were drifted.
Wegener’s book, where he introduced the term “continental drift”, was published in 1924 — but here it was fifty years later and it wasn’t completely accepted.
I was lucky. My Earth Science teacher in 8th grade was fresh out of college and was very enthusiastic about Plate Tectonics.
I can believe it.
It is one of those things that, in retrospect, seems painfully obvious.
“I scheduled it.
I know I did.”

For the “nothing is getting done” crowd: Ed Martin just revealed to @VinceCoglianese
that he has been closely working with Dan Bongino on the J6 pipebomber case and on the overcharging of J6 defendants. Full interview to air on Vince podcast on Rumble, Monday at 10am ET
Oh, thank goodness.
I had really started to wonder about Bongino, though I didn’t want to. He was so adamant that the pipe bomber was the biggest scandal in American history while he was on the radio. I was beginning to think he was covering for the feebs.
Yes, was worried he dropped off a cliff some where. Hopefully the update will show good progress in rectifying wrongs. Monday then @10am ET.

Two minutes long, worth the listen. Hegseth clearly explains how things are different now with the National Defense Areas on the border.
So make the District of Criminals a ‘National Defense Area‘ next.
What a difference 5 years makes. Think back to the first term and how all of the uniparty was lined up to stop this.
Again, if they cannot get in, those already here cannot get out without us knowing about it. The squeeze is on. The invaders are getting ID’d and mapped.
TB, I think there has to be some plan in the works to somehow mass deport these people. It’s too slow right now to accomplish what Trump promised, and Trump does what he says he will.
I don’t have the foresight to see how it’s going to happen, but I think it will.
Remember the Trump Admin is willing to PAY for your ticket home AND give you $$$. The added part is IF you take this you can still apply to come here LEGALLY. If you are DEPORTED you can NEVER come her legally.
This will get the Cartel Mules to flee the country.
On top of that the Trump admin is hunting the Sex traffickers/pedos AND election fraudsters.
The fact that PUBLIC OFFICIALS are getting indicted is a SIGNAL. The people you paid off may land in jail SOON…. So it is now time to take the deal.
How about declaring all of America a National Defense Area?
Of course!
Absolutely true!!!
Many Thanks TT 
YW!
Why wouldn’t we want people who can support themselves financially and use their skills to contribute to society? We give aid to lots of countries; we don’t have to bring all of their people into our country.
We could always EXCHANGE them with these complaining communists who love “black people” so much. Send THEM back to South Africa.
I saw a video the other day of a black girl who had left America for Africa. She didn’t like it there and came back. She said she liked the people, but there were too many invonveniences and snacks were scarce (I kid you not).

animals belong in the zoo.
I was thinking about this earlier, about Bondi’s most recent excuse session with reporters, dodging the question by saying “there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn there are hundreds of victims”, followed by something about how ‘no child will be revealed’.
Nobody is asking that any child be revealed, and she &^%# well knows it.
But the bigger issue is that we have all been conditioned to expect (and wait for) a big complete report, or a complete file dump.
There’s no need for that, none at all.
And there’s no need to wait until all of the ‘hundreds of victims’ are redacted and blotted out to protect the guilty from being seen abusing the children. But you’ll do it anyway.
Just start with what you have, Pam.
You say you’ve had dozens of FIB and DoJ agents working on these files around the clock for what, 60 days now? At least 30 days.
So show us what you have done so far. Even just one person could redact thousands of documents and photos in 30 days.
There’s no need to wait for Godot to arrive, or for every last document to be redacted, for you to show us what you have done so far.
That’s a straw man. Bondi is not saying that people are asking for the identity of children to be revealed. She is saying that before videos or anything can be released, the identities of the victims have to be hidden.
I can see reasons for not revealing part of the information before the rest is ready.
Yep. It’s a huge problem because there are picture search engines that are quite good; but even mistakes by them would ruin someone’s life…
Better done right, then having to be done twice (or more)…
The delays are also raising awareness…
Indeed, someone has to watch it, look for faces that need to be blurred (or entire bodies)… and do that work. (In between trips to go vomit.)
Video renders take a long time, too.
It’s not like 95% of the FIB are ‘good people’, contrary to Kash Patel’s claims.
They’re jackboots, Nazis, and sicko Leftists.
These are people who were willing to do WHATEVER they were ordered to do, and they did it with extra zeal when the target was Trump or his supporters.
They’re psychopaths.
Psychopaths have no problem looking at disturbing images.
“That’s a straw man. Bondi is not saying that people are asking for the identity of children to be revealed.”
_____________
It’s not a straw man when she raises the issue every time she talks about it, and then hides behind it, using it as an excuse, when nobody on the planet expects them to reveal the children.
It’s just a reason to cause her voice to tremble and quiver with emotion, as if that is somehow justification to continue hiding the Epstein predator list.
I half expect her to follow up with “Do it for the chid-ren!”
It is textbook straw man. She has never raised the issue of people wanting the identities of the children known. No one on the planet wants that, not even the perps. It is a made-up idea that doesn’t apply.
The issue is that the children’s identities need to be hidden for their own protection. That is what Bondi talks about, it is common sense, and it is what everyone should be aware of.
“It is textbook straw man.
____________
No, it’s NOT.
.
.
“She has never raised the issue of people wanting the identities of the children known.”
_________________
For F’s sake TT, I know that, that’s not what I’m saying.
SHE raises the issue about having to protect the children every #*&^& time she gets asked why the release of the Epstein files never happens.
We all KNOW the children will be protected, so it’s bogus to keep hiding behind that issue, as if the entire planet doesn’t already know that she will bury those files underneath nuclear waste in the desert at the bottom of a mineshaft before she would reveal the identities of any of the victims.
So, given the fact that she wants to protect the children, and you approve of that, and it takes time,
Just what the fuck is your point, exactly? That it’s taking too long?
How do you know how long it should take?
Yes, it IS.
Two issues:
1-Bondi says the children’s identities need to be protected.
2-You say, “Nobody is asking that any child be revealed, and she &^%# well knows it.”
Of course she knows it because it’s not an issue at all, so there was no reason for your comment about it. That’s a straw man. That’s inserting something into the argument that didn’t exist before and trying to make it relevant, when it isn’t (the idea that, because Bondi knows no one is asking that a child’s identity be released, she shouldn’t keep saying it or using it as an excuse, or whatever your issue is). It’s a non-issue. This isn’t about whether anyone wants the children’s identity released; it’s about keeping those identities secret during the course of an investigation — two completely different ideas.
Every time she says the identities of the children have to be protected, it is part of her job, it is an explanation about part of what they’re doing, and it is the truth.
There is nothing to be exercised about in her statements about protecting the children. Yet you try to make her wrong in some way: “she &^%# well knows it.”
“…there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn there are hundreds of victims..”
CHILD PORN is the key phrase I think.
Criminal Division | Child Pornography
So videos of other adults (or animals) conducting ‘sexually explicit conduct involving a minor’ could be referred to as child porn.
Assuming here. Walking through this logically considering you want a conviction. Step 1 ID the perp. Step 2. Demonstrate the perp committing the crime or associated with the crime. Step 3. Gather depositions. Step 4. Grand jury investigations or other investigations where perp gets a chance to claim his/her side of story? Step 4. Charge or indite the perp and then make evidence public. If you make evidence public before the first 3 steps I think your begging for trouble.
Then your doing this as deep as you can with as many perps as you can while maintaining the element of surprise… Could be very time consuming I’m thinking.
What da ya think… ?
Next we know FIB kept the evidence hidden from the public for umpteen years now… likely also used it as leverage to keep perps in line and to get them sing and dance on cue. what else did they do that would make it hard for DOJ to prosecute? Did they give warning to perps?
Oh I guess we forgot about this too when it comes to the Epstein case… only reminded now because someone figured out she’s also on the Diddy Case.

You’re making excellent points.
Whatever it takes to hide the perpetrators and make sure no one prominent is ever revealed or convicted, that’s the definition they’ll use.
Until or unless proven otherwise.
And nobody can hold their breath long enough to be proven otherwise.
Bondi said “tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.”
Everyone else is saying there are other people in the videos, but she didn’t say that.
There might be other people in videos. It stands to reason since it would be hard for one person to have tens of thousands of videos of himself. But it’s not what she said.
There might be a reason why she said it was only Epstein. It might be simply that she doesn’t want to spook other perps. Those who dislike Bondi might say she is covering up for other perps and that videos of other people (if they exist, which we all *know* they do) will not be disclosed. If that happened, it would mean that every person who had anything to do with it would be in on the coverup. I don’t know if that would include Patel and Bongino because I don’t know what investigations they are involved with. But word would get around and the insiders would know and would have to keep silent.
We will not know the truth until more happens. In the meantime, IMO we need to be very careful to listen to what is said and not to place our own spin on it or put words in anyone’s mouth.
Yep. And we need to pray that GOD reveals the criminals, and heals the victims.
Matthew 10:26-28:
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
We know she is lying.
She may be lying for good reasons, or she may be lying for bad reasons, but she is lying.
I hate lying.
How do you know?
Proof?
She lied to us about some file release in the early going, saying they would be on her desk in the morning.
They weren’t, and it was clear from the way she said it that she either thought it contained something it didn’t, or it did, and she decided to hide it afterwards.
Then Kash Patel had to get it for her, because the SDNY (if I remember correctly) was withholding it.
I’m not going to spend the next hour searching for the quotes and reconstruct a timeline. She has lied before, and I think she is lying now.
Of course it’s not possible that she was told that it was/would be on her desk, but what was produced was not what she had asked for.
She didn’t hide it. She said that what she was given was not what was requested, that there were many more documents in some other location (I forget where), and yes, someone had to get it because the original request had not been fulfilled.
Who is this “we” you speak of?
It’s the preposition you ended your sentence with.
LOL!
Still makes sense. Well, it does for Slow Guy.
It is fine to end a sentence with a preposition except in the most formal settings. Pgroup just did it too!
https://www.grammarly.com/blog/sentences/end-sentence-preposition/
Oh. Thanks. Got it. PG was funin for the grammar illiterate. Slow Guy. 
Slow guy isn’t slow!
An indecent preposition
To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, “up with this we shall not put”
Hmmm….
Bring back BlockBuster Video….
Erm, no. Put the perv perps away, each with their own “roomie” TransBubba, 500-pound giant who hates child-molesters… jailhouse jungle justice…
It never happens.
Never, ever, EVER.
Not in my lifetime.
Until or unless it actually happens, it’s a *&^% movie narrative that everyone has just internalized, and then used the old saw that ‘all the i’s need to be dotted and t’s crossed, because you don’t want anyone to get away!’ excuse to justify no one ever actually being charged or prosecuted or convicted.
We can have this same #*&^#ing argument in 2016, in 2017, in 2018, in 2019, in 2020, in 2021, in 2022, in 2023, in 2024 and now in 2025.
And we will still be having this same &^%#ing argument in 2026, and 2027 and 2028.
Because when we remove the hope narrative from the equation, and just look at reality, THAT is what actually happens.
.
EXCELLENT synopsis.
Saw this reported on twitter but without a source.
Looking for more legitimate news came up with this but no knowledge of their credibility either…
“Gulf diplomatic source claims Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state”
https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-853387
Well, that will guarantee loss of both houses of Congress.
Every MAGA family should put their bug-out bags by the front door.
“Gulf diplomatic source” and Jerusalem Post, both bastions of libtards…
The way I read it, the Palestinian state was defined as one without Hamas.
That’s a whole nuther kettle of fish.
EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Saturday, May 10, 2025
✟
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”
1 Corinthians 9:24 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR 1 CORINTHIANS 9
“The apostle shows his authority, and asserts his right to be maintained. (1-14) He waved this part of his Christian liberty, for the good of others. (15-23) He did all this, with care and diligence, in view of an unfading crown. (24-27)”
(24-27) “The apostle compares himself to the racers and combatants in the Isthmian games, well known by the Corinthians. But in the Christian race all may run so as to obtain. There is the greatest encouragement, therefore, to persevere with all our strength, in this course. Those who ran in these games were kept to a spare diet. They used themselves to hardships. They practised the exercises. And those who pursue the interests of their souls, must combat hard with fleshly lusts. The body must not be suffered to rule. The apostle presses this advice on the Corinthians. He sets before himself and them the danger of yielding to fleshly desires, pampering the body, and its lusts and appetites. Holy fear of himself was needed to keep an apostle faithful: how much more is it needful for our preservation! Let us learn from hence humility and caution, and to watch against dangers which surround us while in the body.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Is your brain close to being fried
Can you believe how much they lied
Can you imagine what they did
The evil they devised and kept hid
Is this a military operation
That is really running our nation
Or is it a God-centered blessing
That will leave the enemy confessing
They claim we are in an information war
Well if that is true what is the score
How far are we interdictory
How close are we to victory
Our patience it is wearing thin
As we traverse thru the storm we’re in
How close are we to the end
Of this horror movie penned
There is one thing that is certain
The drawing of the veiled curtain
As their evil plot it thickens
From dark to light it quickens
The battlefield has forever been
Between good and evil from within
The imbalance caused by ignorance
Left us all shrink-wrapped in a trance
Until we awakened right on cue
We had no idea of what to do
Our daily agony just lengthened
Until we gathered and strengthened
Infiltrated extensively to the max
With enemy operatives in packs
Mesmerized imbibed and bribed
By the powers of darkness ascribed
Only God can disband this formidable foe
One that travels back and forth to and fro
That inhabits weak unsuspecting hosts
That of his successes he often boasts
The remnant petitioned the Throne of Grace
To bombard the enemy and deter his pace
With fire, fury and force He will outpace
With His Army of Angels He will displace
As pharaoh in his arrogance He smote
The Corrupt Cabal will miss the boat
We will be free as He meant us to be
God will save America soon you’ll see
D01: 06/27/2022
Thank You Duchess!

https://nypost.com/2025/05/09/media/ex-trump-admin-official-camryn-kinsey-faints-during-live-fox-television-interview-in-scary-moment/
https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1920729444680925184/pu/vid/avc1/1280×720/k1Cu18wchTKloKwq.mp4?tag=12
Saw this yesterday. Her feinting has me instantly thinking, Jab related.
Second thing, the Beta Fox dope talking head with her, does Nothing. Moron should have instantly been at her side, rendering aid.
There was another speaker last week feinting. Europe, can’t recall the circumstances.
Six years ago, feinting like this was very rare.
Wonder what it could be causing this…
someone said he had an earpiece in tethering him to the spot…i dunno.
I thought jab being the cause also, when it’s on camera like a few have been I wonder if stress is the trigger.
The Mystery
It’s all of God and none of me,
For sure, it’s life’s great Mystery.
Why am I blest? God made the choice.
So listen well and heed His voice.
In Christ before the world was made,
God chose us for His holy plan,
By grace through faith, His gift displayed,
Not works of ours, or any man.
No soul can seek the Son alone,
Unless the Father draws them near,
His Spirit seals us as His own,
Our Helper, Guide, through doubt and fear.
With Christ we’re raised to realms above,
Adopted sons, and kept from wrath,
His power grants us life and love,
And sets us on His righteous path.
His handiwork, we strive for peace,
In humble steps, His works to do,
All praise to God, whose blessings cease
Not ever – His great Mystery true.
Yes, all of God and none of me,
God’s gift and my great mystery
For which I’m grateful all my days
And give Him thanks and heartfelt praise.
Completely agree – thank you for this, Carl.
We have special cause for celebrating the works of the Lord this past week that I will soon relate in a special edition TB health update post soon.
I am in awe of Him.
Looking forward to reading about your PTL health update–TY!

THE BSL-4 BIOWEAPONS LAB AT FT. DETRICK HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN.
https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/attempted-murder-at-fort-detrick
“Attempted Murder at Fort Detrick Bio-Lab Halts Operations”
John Leake
9 May 2025
Yours Truly: the BSL-4 bioweapons lab at Fort Detrick, MD, has been implicated in several other serious incidents, among them related to the Anthrax situation.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya shut down the lab on 7 May 2025.
The lab was under management by an outside contractor based in Hawaii, under a “set-aside minority” contract.
The first question that comes to mind is — WHY would an outside contractor be hired to manage this lab, since the lab would come under the purview of the United States Army?

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! We’re packing up the hotel room and will return to HQ tomorrow, so Monday’s roundup will be back to normal quality levels. That said, it’s still a terrific roundup for your Weekend Edition: C&C scores predictive win as Deputy Chief of Staff signals consideration of radical immigration policy shift; Trump defies gloomy expert predictions as US-China trade negotiations proceed; Administration scores early victory with preliminary UK trade deal; Trump team telegraphs astonishing, world-shaking tariff policy completely missed by corporate media; another prominent official arrest as New Jersey Mayor feels the J6 pain after making an ass of himself and being arrested for trespassing; and a new, peer-reviewed jab study not only further condemns the safe and effective shots but scientifically links mRNA and plummeting global fertility rates.
The 2020 stolen election was not only a coupe de tout against the rightful president, but against the illegitimate one too.
Not sure what’s going on here, but this isn’t going to fly when the dems will be able to show him signing some his bills & EO’s via vids.
Yea. That was my first thought, we’ve seen Maggot “sign” some bills and EOs.
Guess, vast majority, very high 90% are autopen.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Was HE actually signing A BILL/EO?? Or was it just a staged photo op?
POTUS Trump signed and then HELD IT UP SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT HE WAS SIGNING…
Article said bills. I thought EOs. Dunno.
Any NON-DemonRat witnesses???
From the video he could just be scribbling on a piece of paper so he could get his ice dream treat.
Compare to a Trump signing.
What matters is whether he authorized signing at that time.
I’d sure like to know how anybody is going to prove that, considering that everybody’s been busy proving he’s not competent.
Why do you think he did an interview?
Because an audience was eager to rehash?
The man in the video contradicts himself. First he said it was “every document with his signature over the course of his entire presidency,” and he says every signature is identical because of the use of the autopen.
Then at :35 he says “the majority of actions that he took were taken with an autopen” — a statement that doesn’t make sense because many actions do not involve signing. But setting that aside, the man is now saying that, instead of EVERY document, it’s the MAJORITY of actions.
Since accuracy matters, then IMO this man’s word can’t be trusted. He is not paying attention to facts and is broadbrushing everything.
Here is a video of JB signing executive orders shortly after he took over the White House. You can see him signing at :46.
DJT has some competition in the ‘love that man’ contest.
Quite a bit of competition. I am very happy with the picks so far.
I believe him.
Dan has always been a straight shooter with loads of integrity. He was a great pick by POTUS Trump.
“Britain, France, Germany, Poland, together with the United States and other members of the “coalition of the willing” will increase military aid to Ukraine and introduce new sanctions against Russia if “Putin does not return to the path of peace.”
British Prime Minister
Keir[edit Kweir] Starmer announced this at a press conference in Kyiv.According to Starmer, Russia is required to immediately cease fire for 30 days without any additional conditions or demands . Macron took a similar position in his speech.
https://nitter.poast.org/Intel_Slava/status/1921206974101828090#m
*******************************
Is PDJT aware they are purporting he is in the coalition of the willing ?
US tax dollars going to Ukraine for any reason..
“According to Starmer, Russia is required to immediately cease fire for 30 days without any additional conditions or demands”
or
He will scream and scream and scream till he makes himself sick, and hold his breath till he turns blue……………..and he won’t eat his supper….so there !
Meanwhile the caravan rolls on.
Hopefully with Starmer making this feckless demand it will give Trump time to reevaluate any hasty decisions and make the right course corrections after he gets to see Russia give this Starmer thing the cold shoulder since it’s not worth their time to repeat themselves.
That is why I wanted to see POTUS Trump make the first deal with Saudi Arabia and NOT the EVIL Brits….
Although I wonder if POTUS Trump set a trap…. And Stammer just walked right into it.
Guessing quacks are preparing to discretely Walk Away from…Jabs.
Next guess. Jabs will be removed from recommended Jab list.

Thank you.
IMO — It’s the HOSPITALS and HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS who are ordering the “memory-holing” of COVID-19 “vaccine” and/or treatment information from patient charts.
Recall that hospitals were paid $$$$ by the feds for any COVID-19 patient who was admitted, treated. etc. — including those patients who passed away from either the virus itself, or from complications after being “vaccinated.”
I mean, if one can’t prove that Patient X got a COVID-19 “vaccine” shot while in X hospital and from X doctor who ordered it; or Patient Y died from being ventilated at hospital Y after being admitted with a COVID-19 infection — because the records have “vanished” — that “protects” Hospital X, Hospital Y, and the doctors who ordered the “vaccine” and the ventilator use.
What happened with the insurance companies who a good while back reported a big rise in life insurance claims, is that still going on.
RAC
Thank you.
Per Ed Dowd, the answer is Yes.
Memory-holed? We. will. not. forget. EVER.
NOPE!

“Definitely on the Table” – DHS Spox Says Members of Congress May Soon Be Arrested For BODYSLAMMING Female ICE Agent (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/definitely-table-dhs-spox-says-members-congress-may/
They REALLY need to be arrested for us to get back to a system of law and order. No special favors because they are in Congress. They didn’t act with the decorum one should be able to expect of “gentle ladies and gentlemen.” Plus, that one woman was dumb enough to verbalize what she was doing: “I touch whoever I want…”
…touch…LE…
>>> J6ers “touched” and were charged AND convicted of felonies.
Exactly!
I surely agree. Actions have consequences. Body slamming an officer is an offense.
Arrests need to happen.
With cameras rolling, live.
“its disgusting” 
this is fun… hopefully they are held in pretrial confinement. Oh we know that’s not likely but in the back drop of J6 this is indeed “disgusting”.
I sure hope they toss them in the slammer for a week or so at least!
I don’t remember hearing about vice presidents being this involved before, but I could have missed it because, before J.D. Vance got into office, it was such a boring position.
The moment I saw that statue, I KNEW Letitia James posed for it.
No…really? Is that the actual statue?
If it is, that’s hideous.
Yes. Actual statue AND hideous.
Oh my…..the common refrain about ‘doesn’t she have a mirror’ applies here. A huge statue of her muffin top, cellulite, limp hair in grungy clothes.
At least she should’ve demanded to look a little better than cleaning day at home..lol..I still have a hard time believing any woman would pose in that outfit for a giant statue. 
To be clear, I’ve been a smart ass.
While I do believe the statue resembles James, perhaps the “artist” thought of James. It could be the artists, unflattering perception of a black women.
Who knows what the artists intentions were. It is, butt ugly.
yes a hundred times to what you said and James had to be the inspiration. Looks just like her
Yes, the actual statue, and it’s hideous. The Left is all about destroying standards of beauty and excellence.
Excellent summary of the problem.
Rebrand Reversal: Jaguar Slams Brakes on Ad Agency After Sales Crash in Wake of Woke Commercialhttps://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2025/05/09/jaguar-plans-to-replace-its-advertising-agency-following-disastrous-woke-rebrand-n2412588
It was that awful commercial with the people who didn’t look human, dressed in colorful outfits, that didn’t mention the car at all.
IMO whoever at Jaguar approved its release should have been fired immediately. They can’t place the blame on the ad agency.
Yep.
What went through my head at the time was, “Jaguar, what a faguar”…..
Get woke; go broke…
It was the worst ad I’ve ever seen.
Scott Jennings Says the Democratic Party Is Going to Get Hit ‘with the Equivalent of a Nuclear Bomb’ Next Week
I don’t consider this to be a routine tick-tock because he states what the bomb will be: the relase of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again”.
I don’t know if Jennings has read the book or knows what it says, but apparently he thinks it will be damning. I hope the media will be implicated. That would involve Tapper not protecting his fellow urinalists. It should be interesting in any case.
EVENING PRAYERS

Heavenly Father, as the sun sets, I want to pause and say thank You. For the little things like a warm cup of tea to the big things like my family’s laughter, I’m grateful. Each moment of this day has been a gift, and I thank You for the blessings, both seen and unseen. Let my sleep be a thank you, my dreams be praise, and my night whispers echo with gratitude. Amen.
A Prayer for the Gifts of Life
Dear Lord, under the evening sky, I come before You filled with appreciation. For the breath in my lungs, the food on my table, and the love in my home, I am truly thankful. Help me to always notice the countless gifts You provide and to never take them for granted. I rest in Your care, grateful for today and hopeful for tomorrow. Amen.
Thanksgiving for Enduring Love
Gracious God, as I lay down tonight, I reflect on Your unending love and care. Thank you for guiding me through this day, for the smiles shared, and for the kindness I received. Your love is a constant in a world that often changes, and for this steadfast love, I give You thanks. As I close my eyes, I feel the peace of a grateful heart. Amen.
Evening Gratitude for Strength and Guidance
Lord of all comfort, I am thankful tonight, not just for the good but also for the strength You gave me in challenging moments.

Almighty Creator, every sunset reminds me of Your glory and the journey You’ve laid out for me. I am grateful for the paths I’ve walked today, the lessons learned, and the growth experienced. Thank You for being my compass and my companion. As the night unfolds, I count my blessings, and atop the list is Your unwavering presence in my life. Amen.

Finally sat still for a few minutes and read Steve’s post. Great read!
Nice set-up. Though while reading, I perked up, wondering, incoming…
…plus a picture of some granite from an obscure location that I picked totally at random (right).
Then the obvious, “random” picture of granite.
BTW. Watching “flowing lava” in-person is incredibly cool. Kilauea, on Hawaii’s Big Island.
Looking forward to more tectonic reads.
There was an eruption when I lived on the Big Island, too. We went and watched. It took the roof of a house with it when we were there. Crazy.

I love the unstated part – that the current situation is that China is currently closed to American business.
A direct threat of use of the status quo as a weapon.
SALLY Q UPDATE
Sally passed away peacefully at 5:35 pm today.
Her battles with Friedreich’s Ataxia and cancer are over and she is free.
My condolences to you and all your family. You have been a beacon of light and an example of faith and caring throughout. May God comfort you in the knowledge that you did all you could and that His grace is sufficient.
Amen!
Amen!
AMEN!
She was fortunate to have someone with the patience of a saint and willing to go the extra distance to care so much. Bless her, you and yours. Amen.

IIRC, Sally Q was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia when she was a young teenager. Then she had cancer several years ago, which I believe was under control, but which returned within the past few months.
The amount of time and effort that our good GA/FL put in to create and make all kinds of things to help her daughter be as independent as possible for as long as possible is astounding.
Sally Q’s father was a physician (he and GA/FL are divorced.) He himself became very ill a couple of years ago, and our good GA/FL helped to take care of him, also.
GA/FL
Sally Q is now with the Almighty God.
Love, hugs, and Deep Comfort to you, who have done so much for her for so many years.
Sincere Condolences to Sally Q’s father and to the all the family.

Condolences as Sally passed. Sally was comforted, with you and family alongside.
Admirable, the years of loving care you provided Sally. No one could have done better.
Warmest sympathy to you, sister and her father.
My prayer is for God’s best for you and your family.
A Mother’s Burden
I rise in the middle of the night.
The burden stoops my shoulders.
I await the dawn to press the fight.
I know with dawn, I will be bolder.
A silent prayer escapes my lips.
Less than sigh, but more than hope.
My mind is numb, still my head dips.
One more day I plead, I can cope.
I knew this time would come.
But still I fight to do my part.
Do not fear as is the wont of some.
The night is gone, let Heaven fill my heart.
That is beautiful.
My condolences.
May she rest in eternal peace.
Amen
Amen.
Love and sympathy GA/FL
Prayers of comfort and peace for you and your family, GA/FL. Your love and care for Sally Q all these years has truly been an inspiration.
Amen.
My sympathy and prayers. May God bless and comfort you and yours at this time. 
May Sally’s beautiful soul rest in peace, GA/FL.
May she rest in peace.
My condolences to all whose lives she touched.

Congresswoman at Protest Tells CNN ICE Has Manufactured Bodycam Footage – twitchy

The world has been a much better place with Shag gone from her stint as Secretary of Lying to the Public.
To be fair the 200lb ICE agent was being shoved by a 200lb woman
From what I saw it was a smaller woman (ICE) that got shoved.
On the Benny Johnson tweet the big lady in the red jacket is whole upper body pushing into a male agent…you know the kind of activist move where no hands are near the intended target but aggression designed to get pohleece hands on them for all to see
They’re entitled, and they lie. I don’t know, but my impression was that footage was posted on X right after it happened. That is often what happens. I don’t know if it was ICE footage, either.
This was February 16. First I’ve learned of this.
I read that they had been working with the family rather than arresting the parents. Sounds good, but if you have to change a whole paradigm, it can be hard. I hope they get straightened out.
More from the tweet
Thankfully, neither child was injured during the incident. Instead of pursuing criminal charges, deputies announced plans to connect the family with behavioral health services, focusing on support and guidance rather than punishment.~~~~~~~
Those 2might need intensive health service guidance. Never saw kids that young face off with police and parents and refuse to back down.

There is graffiti on the entrance to the staircase! I don’t think the British did that in 1814, and I don’t think members of Congress have done that, so the public has been allowed to write on the hidden walls of the Capitol???
Apparently they let small tour groups visit there… although I hope they would be supervised to some extent…

As a sign from above, just as I was finishing that comment, I got a call from our house guest.
She wanted me to remove the snake who decided to take up residence in the lintel of the side door. It is covered with aluminum and he figured out how to crawl inside.
The snake is now out in the pasture several hundred feet from the house. I hope it does not have ‘homing instinct’
So that is one SNAKE removed…
Next snake – the RINO RATTLER!

Thank you!
Many moons ago, as a child, I used to pretend I was an archeologist. I would go around the family yard and dig rocks up and examine them. Made my father upset, because the lawnmower would “encounter” the rocks I’d dug up.
Chrome diopside is used in the jewelry industry. It’s sold as a kind of “fake emerald.” Problem is, chrome diopside used in jewelry has a hardness level of about 4—so it chips easily.
I was a rock hound from an early age. I still have a rock collection in the attic. Gemstones & fossils and Indian artifacts.
Very interesting stuff. I wish your last image labeled the coloration significance, for clarity.
How’s the recommended reading going?
Some stuff on loan from the library but I haven’t started reading it yet
It has labeled contour lines, so I imagine they figured that was sufficient.
I don’t disagree with your complaint, though. I at first looked for a key to the colors then noticed the contour lines. Also context helped; I know ocean floor is thin so that color means thin. I also know the Tibetan plateau is thick, so that color is thick. (And I mentioned those facts so hopefully people could figure it out.
I guess I’m your perpetual dunce cap reader
Meh, your complaint isn’t without merit; it takes more work to figure it out than it should have.
